It’s wonderful to see it being reprinted again, not least, I think, because it proves the adage that while nothing dates as quickly as fashion, nothing stays in fashion longer than timeless design—which is really at the core of what I try to do.”\r\n\r\nIn this timeless and beautiful book, now reissued complete with a brand-new introduction, renowned architectural and interior designer Ben Pentreath presents an insightful overview of the classic English style. The classic English interior is a timeless one, characterized by richness of color and texture, a mixture of old and new pieces and a generous layering of books, paintings, cushions, and flowers. In English Houses, Ben visits 12 classically English homes divided into three sections: London, Country, and Country House. The interiors featured range from a 1930s pied-a-terre in London's historic St James district to a townhouse in North London to designer Veere Grenney’s tiny Palladian folly in Suffolk to Wardington, a 16th-century manor house in Oxfordshire. Ben’s own homes, an apartment in London and a farmhouse in West Dorset, are also included. These homes vary greatly in architecture, size, shape, and age, but they all have in common the English style—richly-layered rooms that deftly intertwine color and pattern and a mix of old and new furniture to create timeless and comfortable places to live.","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover; 224 pages \/ English","offer_id":52478384505106,"sku":"9781788796156","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0673\/1582\/6962\/files\/d1152b8597591a789496710fffb14805195be9f8552d3eb10adb09d77c95439a.jpg?v=1783082043","url":"https:\/\/thegoodday.com\/products\/english-houses-by-ben-pentreath","provider":"The Good Day","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
